Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A microwave weather radar is used to observe a distribution of precipitation. However, non-precipitating clouds cannot be observed with the sensitivity of ordinary weather radars, because cloud droplets are much smaller than precipitation particles. Therefore, a cloud radar was developed with higher sensitivity using a shorter wavelength. We describe the configuration and specifications of this cloud radar, and show its case study. In addition, we show the problems of the current cloud radar and propose a dual-frequency terahertz radar to solve the problems.
